EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: In the Akkeba admin panel there is a code for the cron job:

/path/to/php /home/proutglo/public_html/resources/cli/akeeba-backup.php

I notice there is a space after the first section /path/to/php is that intentionally or optional?

After talking to my host (Siteground) the code now looks like this:

/usr/local/php53/bin/php-cli /home/proutglo/public_html/resources/cli/akeeba-backup.php

As you can see I have kept the space. Please advice if this looks correct.

Intentional and mandatory.

> /usr/local/php53/bin/php-cli /home/proutglo/public_html/resources/cli/akeeba-backup.php

Yes, it does. Since we are also hosted on SiteGround I can confirm beyond any doubt that you have the correct path to PHP CLI.
